Nope.

Here in Germany the highest court decided a while ago (2019, 2021? Not sure), that the current climate policy is unconstitutional, because it’s limiting the freedom of coming generations.

And nothing happened.

So Germany currently has a government that openly defies the constitution and nobody seems to care.

Also Greece: EU, help us! Climate change is burning our forests!!!11
